Pros:
- Adjacent to bus stand, making it easier for arrival and check out.
- Very inexpensive and friendly on the wallet
Cons:
- The location is not family friendly. Not a fault of the hotel's, but it located in a shady alley behind the bus stand. I would not recommend it for family or female travellers. Experienced a lot of stares and saw some eve teasing happening. Not the kind of place you'd want to stay on holiday
- There are much more better options available near MG Road and White Town, which is anyway the place most travellers spend in Pondi.
- Was not able to connect to WiFi

Rooms are spacious and keeping in clean and neat. We really enjoyed stay over this hotel. Staff also well behaved. I recommend this hotel who visit Pondicherry. Service available at hotel also good. Worth for the cash.

The location of the hotel was very good.. Just on the main road opposite to pothy show room but the entrance of the hotel was on the side lane. Or seems the hotel was on some renovation as claimed by the owner. The reception was good. The rooms were spacious, but were smelly... Even I found Cockroaches inside the desks and below the bed. The toilet was also good but it would have been better if some Bath towel and soaps were provided. Over all its OK.. But not for families that prefer neat place.

We went for a marriage function and this hotel was located right near by. The facilities were good. Worth the money spent. Its location is bit into the residential area away from the central places of Pondicherry. The staff were good and were able to accommodate us in spite of the early morning check-in.

The hotel has a very nice ambient atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and clean, they are well maintained. Plus the location of the hotel is good.. All the tourist spots are only around 5KMS distance.. In short its worth for your money..

The resort experience was awesome in all da aspects it was economic too. And the pool was good and the room was awesome as shown in da pics and service was also good taste was also okay. And Mr Prabhu assisted us in a good manner

Actually they are kind and service s good. Place s nice best for the bachelor parties and separate pool for ladies. Totally worth for money ... I suggest to book through MakeMyTrip instead of booking straight ...

It was an good stay. The manager was very supporting. People were very good over there. It worth for money. Good place for living with friends and family. Even the breakfast was good. Only the condition of bathroom was not that good.

Good hotel, value for money, Very clean and good service. It is located in main area and center of city so all the visiting places are near to it like beach, Shopping, market, Ashram and etc. Good budget hotel with good service. The amphibians are well. Food is good, you will get only veg but good taste. Overall nice hotel for peaceful stay and staying with family.

Room was fine. Clean and OK to stay. We went as office colleagues to have a relaxation and a little bit of adventure in pondy. Hotel is about 1. 5 km from the beach. It has its own restaurant. I would rate the room and the hotel 3 stars from 5. Room is good if you go with your friends, family and have a tight budget.

Grand serena is good hotel and vlaue for money us staying. But hotel located in out of city from Pondy, Room is good. But need little improvement in Bathroom hygiene. Complementary break fast is very good and service also good. Recommended for coprate meetings and all for staying

Hotel is outside of city 8-10 km and in front of beach so in morning and night time you can hangout on beach. Beat area for relaxation. And if you have your own vehicle you can visit in city. Food yon can here near hotel (but not quality). Hotel staff is friendly and hotel also good.

We were 5families traveled to Pondicherry for a wedding. This is our 2nd visit to karai hotel. We got rooms on same floor(except one). Rooms are clean and well maintained. The Bath too was neat and clean but it was stinking due to lack of ventilation. The power supply was interrupted in karai suite but was duly attended to when informed. Their king suite comprises of 2 rooms and 1bath(one of them has single bed). Where as karai suite has 2 rooms and a Bath. Both the rooms have double bed.

Hotel at just 1. 4m of walk distance from rock beach is perfect for stay at Puducherry. Hotel provides food in the room. One can have best time during their visit to Pondicherry. I recommend all to stay at hotel ram international.
Thanks to hotel and makemytrip.

No service, no proper bed. Stayed for 2 days & had to remind them at least 3-4 time a day to clean the room but they had not cleaned the room for these 2 days. First room the TV channels was not working, they changed the room but still no channel was clear in the other room too and the channels were only available for few hours in night or early morning. Asked them to clear the plates from room - it took 4 reminders & 3 hrs, then a small boys comes & advises me to just keep the plates outside the room on one corned and we would take them.
